Trabant zu verkaufen (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Brigitte, Carola and Susi can hardly believe their luck. They have hit the jackpot and won a brand new Trabi! Unfortunately, none of the three have a driving license. So they quickly agree to sell the car. Soon there are more interested parties than the three ladies would like and disagreements about who will be the lucky new owner. Plumber Oskar Zahl promptly completes Brigitte's bathroom renovation because he thinks he has a chance of getting the car. Carola hopes that her new flame, choir singer Anastasius Vogel, will buy the Trabi for her. And Susi's fiancé wants to surprise his future wife with the car. The three car owners put all the applicants through their paces and ultimately make a wise decision.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
